Now Mrs Battle has had a good laugh at me working it out and she says its 5.5 kg - she say "it's the same as her glass Pyrex bowl full of water which she can't pickup with one hand" so as a guest she would like her guess entered if that's acceptable? Note she used the cooking scales to weigh the bowl of water. If she wins it you'll be green with envy battle, good luck Mrs B !

Wigan was made famous for pies by rival town Leigh, they called Wiganers Pie eaters because wiganers went back to work first in a textile dispute in the Victorian days, The Mill owners said if you don't come back to work, we are shutting the mill down and going to another local town of Bolton, So the Wiganers went back to work, and the rival Leigh dwellers called us humble pie eaters, it stuck, of course, thats all allegations, We love a pie, meat and potato is my favorite, the good ole PC crowd got involved a while ago and said, " the potato is the major content of this pie and therefore, from this day foreward they shall be called 'potato and meat pie' no one in Wigan or the rest of the Northwest listened to that bollocks, so every pie shop calls them meat and potato pies, ,,what a load of twats we have pushing pens and making rules,,

Northern soul was never at Wigan Pier, It first started in the early 1970's at Wigan casino, the Wigan casino was a night club it closed at 2 am, when it closed, the Northern soul club went in and played all night, coach's came from all over, the soul music was from working backgrounds of the working class America and not the famous groups like marvin gaylord etc,
